can i affect one program and not the others?
I think you may be confused. Linux is not a program. It is an operating system the same as windows or Mac OS X. In order to use Linux (Ubuntu or whatever flavor) on a permanent basis, you would have to set up to either replace windows with it or duel boot with windows and Linux. As I mentioned, you can try Linus Ubuntu with the CD without installing it. It will just run from the CD.
Windows (95,95NT,98,2000,ME,XP,Vista,7)
Mac (System 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,OS 8,OS 9,OS X)
Linux (Ubuntu,Kubuntu,Red Hat,Fedora,Mint, etc etc)
